To debug a pop-up window in Chrome, use the Chrome Developer Tools. First, right-click inside the pop-up and select 'Inspect' to open the Developer Tools focused on the pop-up. If the pop-up closes too quickly, go to `Settings > More Tools > Developer Tools`, then click on the 'Network' tab and check 'Preserve log'. This prevents the logs from clearing when the pop-up closes. Finally, reproduce the issue and the pop-up's debug information should remain in the console for you to analyze.
